Lyme disease is a bacteria; Powassan is the viral infection.

Thank you for the correction, much appreciated :

Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by the Borrelia bacterium which is spread by ticks.
Powassan virus is a flavivirus transmitted by ticks, found in North America and in the Russian Far East.
